NOTE 


Because of the death of a member of the firm of Ferdinand 
Keller of Philadelphia, the very fine objects of art here cata- 
logued are offered to American collectors at unrestricted public 
sale. 


Mr. Ferdinand Keller, the head of the firm, is a member of 
a family that for many years dealt in antiques in Europe. He 
has not only collected abroad but has long been a frequent visitor 
to New England and the Southern States in search of Colonial 
examples of fine furniture and other interesting objects, and he 
has also bought largely from the old Quaker families of Penn- 
sylvania. For years his Galleries have been visited by hundreds 
of collectors from all parts of the country, and particularly by 
New Yorkers, who have entire confidence in his judgment and 
integrity. 

This collection contains rare Seventeenth and Eighteenth 
Century English furniture, including Jacobean gate-leg tables, 
extending tables, chairs, and cabinets; the art of Adam, Chip- 
pendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite is represented by many 
unusually fine specimens; and important Seventeenth and Eigh- 
teenth Century Flemish Gobelin and Aubusson tapestry panels, 
many objects in old English and Dutch silver, rich brocades, 
Italian and Spanish mirrors, and other valuable objects are in- 


cluded. 


Special attention should be called to two Chippendale chairs 
once owned by Washington; a magnificent Spanish cabinet on a 
carved and gilt Chippendale stand; a fine Georgian mahogany 
pedestal sideboard; a Martha Washington settee; a set of six 
shield-back Hepplewhite chairs; a Chippendale pie-crust table; 
a quaint German Renaissance buffet; embroidered crimson velvet 
curtains from the Palace of Queen Isabella of Spain; two im- 
portant paintings; an Eighteenth Century Aubusson tapestry 
panel, “The Judgment of Paris’, and a Seventeenth Century 
tapestry, “The Visit of Alexander the Great to Diogenes.” 


The collection as a whole is of very great interest and im- 
portance, particularly to those collectors who are in search of 
unusually rare and valuable objects.
